"Roger Williams sends cap and gown to airman
A student at Roger Williams University was able to wear his cap and gown for graduation despite being deployed in Iraq. The school sent him the graduation garb in the mail. Matthew O'Brien will get his diploma when he returns from his deployment in July.
You mean IF he returns, right?
His wife, Michele Paris-O'Brien, who also graduated from Roger Williams on Saturday, accepted that on his behalf.
May God see to it that he does in fact return.
O'Brien has been deployed with the 143rd Airlift Wing of the Rhode Island National Guard at Al Asad Air Base since February. The couple was among over 1,100 students who earned degrees from Roger Williams this year.
